The AI can now remotely control mechs in its network. It has one mapped in near its core.
Messages received by your old body will now reach your VR body (does not affect Skrell Srom).
Exosuit pilots can now interact with elevator panels without having to get out.
Robotics and RnD can now create remote controlled mechs. The control centre is in the protolathe, while the exosuit upgrade is in the circuit imprinter.
Mechs can no longer be dismantled if it has a pilot in it.
Dismantling a mech now takes a while.
This PR is pretty decent in size. The contents of changes are:
Modular guns rebalance:
Capacitors reliability was buffed: reinforced 80 -> 100, uranium 50 -> 60, teranium 45 -> 55, phoron 40 -> 50, bluespace 30 -> 45.
Added nano reinforced barrel which has 10 more reliability than reinforced barrel.
Added enhanced grip MK2, which has improved fire delay by 0.2 compared to MK1 grip.
Added stablity stock, which improves fire delay by 0.2 and accuracy by 0.5 compared to regular stock.
Added animations to lots of modular components like all capacitors, almost all modulators, lenses, etc.
Modular guns now have to be assembled inside of weapons analyzers. You cannot assemble them in hands anymore
Weapons analyzer:
Added machinery called Weapons analyzer. Main purpose of it is to display stats of any weapon or item. You can accepts anything that is an item, even trash(probably). For modular guns it will also display table of components and their statistics.
Modular guns now need to be assembled inside of weapons analyzer.
Added circuit board and ability to construct weapons analyzer in RND. Circuit board required tech: engineering = 3, data = 2, combat = 2.
Misc changes:
recharger and wall recharger now visually display on their icon how much charge is inside of weapon/gun that is being charged.
Ports Baystation12/Baystation12#19992 and Baystation12/Baystation12#27266.
Added a personal shield device to the traitor tools uplink.
Added a radiant shielding aura spell to Battlemage and Cleric.
Added an exosuit shield drone to the mechfab.
This works, but I'm not entirely happy with the sprites. The personal shield has no on-mob shimmer, it uses a mindbatterer grenade as an icon sprite. The wizard radiant spell uses a pretty big and janky sprite as an on-mob, and the exosuit's shield sprite doesn't follow the dir the mech faces, but that one I can maybe fix on my own. If anyone knows about that last one, lemme know, Bay had code for it that we do not.
Added a box in the Autolathe Engineering section that can hold the stock parts that goes into machinery."
It also includes presets that can be mapped in somewhere. The basic one can probably go in RnD, while the tcomms one is self-explanatory.
Adds some new turf sprites to replace ones in common use across the station, ports the reinforced floor from bay.
Adds new vent, scrubber, sprites for many wall-mounted objects and holopad sprites that fit in better with the changed floors.
Remaps a ton of areas visually to make better use of these changed sprites.
Things this does:
Refactors _app_preset_name to use a type name instead. This makes it validate the presets at compile time, making it much more secure.
Removes all records computers from the code, along with the CMC.
Replaces all records computers with appropriate modular computers
Each head of staff now has 1 departmental computer, 1 head-specific computer, 1 head laptop
Removes the C&C program from the heads that had it, because you're supposed to use the bridge for it.
Fixes a disconnected vent in xenoarch, fixes the anomaly scanner in the pit scanning a window, adds a bookcase to make up for the empty space created. Fixed a protection check to recognise nitrile gloves now that we use them instead of latex.
The armour and armor again strikes:
Apparently original Mech port PR has overridden borg's armor definition and was using it. This fixes it by making mech's armor a child of borg's armor instead.
renames borg's armour to armor references.
Mech's melee damage has been increased. It depends on manipulator type. Light: 15, Regular: 20, Combat 30, Heavy: 50. Fixes#7665
Adds missed check in mech's destroy proc
This changes a number in the artifact effect code that removes the potential for an artifact to have the low level energy emissions or concentrated energy effect, both of which do nothing.
Spent lots of time and lots of changes to fix issues:
bugfix: "Mechs no longer runtime during destroy call."
bugfix: "Turrets and NPCS no longer target empty mechs."
bugfix: "Mechs no longer runtime during armor check. Mechs now use their armor and values for it. Before it would ignore them entirely and deal 100% damage."
Added ismech() define and also QDEL_NULL_LIST() define from TG. Matt's suggestion
renamed any armour references in mech code to armor to keep it consistent
